Chapter 054: You're More Open-minded Than I Thought
Huo Rong was appointed to supervise the Huzhou wharf, before coming to Huzhou, Jiaxing, Hangzhou three places of Cao Yun nearly five years of situation, today to the wharf is not accidental, in the Cheng Xiao as a model of the Jiangnan Province government in the general accumulation of wealth under the current situation, Cao Yun Wharf exploitation of craftsmen is not uncommon.
If Huzhou Wharf wants to be cleared, it is necessary to put a stop to this trend, but the situation he has seen along the way is not very optimistic.
The docks are all near the wharf or bay, and the craftsmen of the government-run docks are paid, but the handymen are all in service, and about a thousand people work every day.
The banks of the river were beating and beating, and they were busy, but there were still foremen with large knives shouting from the side, and they were even more powerful when they were seen.
"Go back and check the background of the director of the Huzhou Caoyun Division." He turned his head to gesture to Tong Qi.
Changying is also the first time to come to this kind of place, which to a certain extent subverts her past perception of the life of the people of Limin.
Su Xinrong frowned all the way, didn't say a word, stood on tiptoe, covered her palms in front of her nose, couldn't stand the smell of rust halfway through, pushed away the long tassels, and vomited while holding the wood on the side.
Fortunately, Xu Lan was close, and he quickly held the long tassel and avoided the bad luck of being planted aside.
"Changying, I'm really sorry, I felt a cold last night, so I was a little uncomfortable, didn't I hit you?"
Su Xinrong looked at it "sincerely".
Changying dusted off his sleeves and said with a smile: "Bumped." ”
Su Xinrong tugged at the corners of her mouth: "That's really embarrassing." ”
"Don't be embarrassed." Changying smiled, "After all, General Su is delicate and delicate, which is obvious to all." ”
are all generals, and they still say that their bodies are delicate? Isn't that insulting?
Su Xinrong's face changed.
There was silence for a moment.
Xu Lan cleared his throat and beckoned someone to bring a few bowls of tea: "It's been a long time, drink some water to moisten your throat first." ”
There are only large bowls of coarse tea boiled out of the dockyard, but this is not the time to be exquisite.
Huo Rong glanced at Su Xinrong, and then at the long tassel that brushed his sleeves indifferently, and stroked the edge of the stoneware bowl with his hand, his heart was calm and waveless.
Su Xinrong took the tea, her heart was boiling like cooking porridge, but she was helpless for a while.
Seeing that Huo Rongzheng glanced at Shen Changying with cold eyes, and remembered that he ignored her before, he smiled and said: "Changying, you have been open-mouthed for a long time, in front of General Huo, why don't you restrain yourself?"
"This is not the northern land where you have lived since childhood, Jiangnan is the hometown of elegance, and it has always been etiquette, Changying, you should learn more, don't take care of the limelight all day long.
"General Huo, did you say yes?"
Su Xinrong laughed silently, with the dignity of a victor.
Huo Rong, who was shaking the tea in the bowl, glanced at her when he heard this, obviously unable to bear to be dragged into the water: "General Su is so particular about etiquette, why don't you stay in the inner house?" ”
Su Xinrong was stunned.
Changying immediately let out a piercing laugh that made her feel extremely harsh: "It's probably because General Su has always been very rare to have a hot face against a cold buttocks!" ”
Su Xinrong gritted her teeth angrily, and before she could speak, Changying raised her eyebrows and walked away with her arms in her arms.
Huo Rong's face was not very good-looking. Cold ass? Who does she say is cold ass?
Xu Lan stayed aside and couldn't stand it, coughed and said to Su Xinrong: "Aren't you uncomfortable?" Let's go up and stay for a while. ”
Su Xinrong's face became even more ugly.
Xu Lan didn't care about her anymore and walked towards the long tassel by the river beach.
Changying stood under a dragon skeleton and looked at the craftsmen who were working not far away.
Due to the sudden transfer to the Supervision Department, her original plan was changed, and she had to look back on her past life recently.
After Cheng Xiao's death, He Min was detained, and Cao Yun's side was actually very calm.
It was precisely because of the calm that she didn't think about this at all before revealing Cheng Xiao's crime.
But despite this, something happened in August of the same year.
The Cao Yun played the biggest role for the imperial court was to transport goods from the north to the south, and the Cao ships from Jiangsu and Zhejiang transported grain and silk to Beijing, while the merchants transported the jujubes, pears, medicinal materials, and furs from the north to the south, saving a lot of costs compared with land transportation.
However, because of the great importance of the canal, the imperial court has always made every effort to maintain the normal navigation of the canal, and the canals on both sides of the river are often disturbed by floods, and the slender men and sailors at the wharves in many places also suffer from water transportation.
Because Song Liang, a university scholar, was a native of Huzhou and lived in Huzhou since he was a child, he proposed to build shipping and abandon river transportation at that time, but was refuted by Gu Lian, the son of the Marquis of Dongping.
Gu Lian believes that under the current situation of rampant piracy, Song Xiao proposed to open sea transportation as a people's movement to put Daning in danger.
Song Xiao argued on the basis of reason, listing several drawbacks of river transportation. Gu Lian pointed out that he was suspected of colluding with pirates, and finally forced Song Xiao to leave office in order to protect himself.
Since then, no one has proposed to scrap the river.
If Gu Lian is reluctant to abolish the river transport, one must be because the Cao Yun Division is in the hands of his relatives and the East Palace, and abolishing the canal is equivalent to losing his position, and transporting property is no longer as convenient as it is now.
The second is about that if the sea is greatly prospered, then the sea channel will be under the control of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, and the hands of the relatives will not reach out to the barracks, once the military generals master this fortress, it will be a matter of time before the Gu family and the party fall in the court.
No matter how likely it is that Song Xiao's proposal will be implemented in the end, it is an indisputable fact that he is not afraid of his relatives and will have a bad relationship with the Gu family in the future.
As a civil official of the six ministries who was almost single-handedly shrouded by the Gu family, he was able to stand in the overall situation of the imperial court and confront his relatives against the wind, at least it shows that he still has some backbone......
"These craftsmen, except for the boatmen, are all here to serve, and some of them serve for three months in three years, and those who live in the place serve for one month and ten months."
Xu Lan followed the direction she was looking at and explained. "You grew up in the Northland, so you probably didn't have much contact with shipyards, right? What's the Northland like? ”
Changying's fabricated resume when he entered the camp said that he was a young general in the Northland.
"The climate is harsh, far worse than Jiangnan. But when the season is good, the scenery outside the Seychelles also has a special interest. Changying smiled.
Xu Lan stared at her side and said, "I thought you would mind because of General Su's words, it seems that I think too much, you are more open-minded than I imagined." ”
From this angle, her thick eyelashes and pretty nose bridge, as well as her delicate lip line and chin line, all stand out, making her look like a beautiful silhouette in the setting sun.
"General Xu has a good reputation." Changying turned her face and hugged her arms as if smiling: "General Su always can't get along with me, in fact, I also mind." So sometimes I say it's just a fight. ”
Su Xinrong prides herself on her good background, and ridicules her everywhere with her small family background that she fabricated in order to enlist in the army, because the Xu family has a good background, and she has to elevate herself by belittling her.
Changying really didn't care about this, but she couldn't make Xu Lan misunderstand that there was anything special about her Shen Changying.
Xu Lan stared at her for a long time, then gently raised his lips and snorted: "Naughty." ”
